Poker: Phone march on Capital Hill Tuesday
Body:
Your urgent action is needed! On September 12th the Poker Players
Alliance with the support of leading poker blogs and forums, PocketFives.com,
Wicked Chops Poker and others are organizing a “Phone March”
on Capitol Hill. From 9:00 AM Eastern Time, until 5:30 PM Eastern
Time on Tuesday, September 12th.
We are asking anyone interested in defending poker to call this
toll free number, 800-289-1136 and be past through to one of your
two U.S. Senators in Washington D.C.
When you call the 800 number you will hear a recording from fellow
PPA member Greg “Fossilman” Raymer and then you will
be prompted to enter your five digit zip code so you can be directed,
free of charge, to your Senator’s office.
Note: The 800 number will only be active between 9:00 AM EST
and 5:30 PM EST on Tuesday September 12.
Key points you should make:
* I am voter in your state.
* I strongly oppose any legislation that would prohibit online
poker, and urge the Senator to vote against such legislation.
* Poker is a skill game enjoyed by 70 Million Americans.
* The Senator should seek to regulate online poker much like the
government regulates other forms of gaming, like lotteries.
* Prohibitions don’t work. Any legislation that tries to
ban online poker will only drive those players underground.
* Again, I urge the Senator to oppose any attempts to prohibit
me from playing the great American game of poker on the Internet.
The threat to poker is real. Please forward this information
to everyone you know who cares about poker and an American’s
freedom to use the Internet. We need everyone possible to make
their voice heard on September 12th!
Sincerely,
Michael Bolcerek
